House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is among a group of GOP lawmakers whose phone records are of interest to the select committee investigating the deadly January 6 riot on Capitol Hill, CNN has learned.
The committee asked a group of telecommunication companies to preserve phone records belonging to McCarthy, along with several other House Republicans, earlier this week.
On Monday, CNN first reported the existence of an evolving list of lawmakers whose phone records the committee wanted preserved. At the time of CNN's reporting, McCarthy's name had not been added to a draft version of the list, but by the time the document was finalized and sent to the telecommunications companies later that same day, it was included.
But since the final list was submitted on Monday afternoon, CNN has received information that McCarthy's name was, in fact, included along with several other lawmakers and hundreds of other individuals. A select committee aide made clear Thursday that the names associated with the panel's requests have not changed since the final list was sent to telecommunication companies earlier this week.
"The lists that accompanied the preservation orders haven't been changed or supplemented since the select committee sent them Monday," the aide said.

PATHETIC!
This is thinly disguised voter intimidation.
This sounds like a democratic fishing expedition, nothing else.
Political witch hunt.
Stalinist tactics. Not shocked.
This jan 6 hearing is a pathetic attempt to deflect from the smoking crater that is the Afghanistan pullout.
How about Liz Cheney’s?
How about Pelosi’s?
I remember them screaming about Nixon spying on the precious Democrats.
Time to move on from the Afghan disaster and back to Jan. 6. Pedo Joe’s polls have tumbled and now the media will work hard to get them built back up into the 50s.
See folks, this is the way smart people use power. Conversely, when the Republicans controlled Congress, they were such nice people that they did not want to make their democrat colleagues look bad, or nervous, so they tiptoed around all things controversial; they looked the other way, reached across the aisle to their friends, complained about how crude Trump was, etc., to appear the gutless fools they are.
Why Trump continues to have meetings with him is beyond me.
Well, this is how Hitler gained control, endless investigations, Gestapo searches and allegations of disloyalty. No one can no longer deny that Fascism has taken over the Democrat Party
Cuck Kevin needs to go to the floor of the House and punch Fartwell’s lights out.
The GOP was not playing nice at all. In 2017-18 Ryan surrendered the House to Marxists rather than govern in a patriotic manner. There is always a method to the GOP madness.

“The GOP was not playing nice at all.”
Are you serious. I was being sarcastic. The Republicans were being nice to democrats because they are cut from the same cloth, but vicious to Trump and America.
Then ask for the phone records for the days leading up to and following Jan 6th for Pelosi and her staff, the Capitol Police and the Sgt at Arms.
Because smashing your phone with a hammer and wiping your hard drive with bleach-bit is something only Democrats are allowed to do.
Amen!
If Ryano had advanced the Trump agenda instead of sabbotaging it we would not be in the pitiful situation we’re in. You cannot place enough blame on him.
I am so OVER the republican give in.. Lazy.. won’t work for us... for years, they have let the dems be the problem child.. and coddled them to boot!!
It’s beginning to look hopeful for the “fed up” out there who are running for office!
There’s a crew in Cartersville, GA today.. they asked the audience if they were fed up... if they are angry... and the place erupted in loud applause.
